    Jim Bunning - I don't know a thing about him, I've never met him, never will, may never hear of him again, but I like the cut of his jib!

    He's a Republican Senator from Kentucky who's actually a former Hall of Fame Baseball player.

    I second sobers! This Senator is a complete breath of fresh air in the stagnant pool of Washington rhetoric. How refreshing is it that he actually called foul on a wayward institution.

    Yuck, I don't know about all that. If you noticed, Bernanke was very careful -not- to use the word "recession," but things like "the economy has continued to expand." What exactly does that mean? I was pretty entertained by this translation of BB's speech: http://www.236.com/news/2008/07/15/federal_rese...
